Abstract
The dual eccentric motorcycle footrest provides an infinitely and continuously adjustable motorcycle footrest within a defined area on the side of a motorcycle. It may be adjusted in both a vertical and horizontally direction to satisfy the needs of motorcycle operators with various statures, whether on a racetrack or on streets. Normally used in pairs, one for each side of a motorcycle, the invention relies on two eccentric adjustments to provide a reliable, lightweight, strong, durable and easily adjustable motorcycle enhancement.

A method of a dual eccentric adjustable motorcycle footrest, comprising the steps of:
- fastening a bracket having a circular bracket aperture to a motorcycle frame;
- rotationally adjusting an angular position of a circular collet placed within the circular bracket aperture, the circular collet having an eccentrically offset collet aperture with respect to a circular collet rotational axis;
- rotationally adjusting an angular position of a foot peg with respect to a foot peg pivot placed within the offset collet aperture, the foot peg having an eccentrically offset positional relationship with respect to a foot peg pivot rotational axis;
- and
- fixing an adjusted position of the foot peg by securing the angular position of the collet in the bracket aperture and the angular position of the foot peg pivot in the collet aperture.
A method of a dual eccentric adjustable motorcycle footrest, comprising the steps of:
- fastening a bracket having a circular bracket aperture with a bracket aperture centerline to a motorcycle frame;
- inserting a circular collet having a collet axis and an eccentrically offset collet aperture with a collet aperture centerline into the circular bracket aperture, the collet axis aligning with the bracket aperture centerline;
- sliding a foot peg pivot having a foot peg pivot axis into the offset collet aperture, the foot peg pivot axis aligning with the collet aperture centerline;
- eccentrically offsetting a foot peg having a foot peg centerline from the foot peg pivot by a foot peg radial arm fixed between the foot peg and the foot peg pivot, the foot peg centerline being eccentrically offset from the foot peg pivot axis;
- eccentrically adjusting the position of the foot peg by rotating the collet about the collet axis in the bracket aperture and by rotating the foot peg pivot about the foot peg pivot axis in the collet aperture;
- and
- fixing the angular position of the collet in the bracket aperture and the angular position of the foot peg pivot in the collet aperture.
A dual eccentric adjustable motorcycle footrest apparatus, comprising:
- a bracket having a circular aperture fastened to a motorcycle frame;
- a rotatable circular collet placed within the circular bracket aperture, the circular collet having an eccentrically offset collet aperture with respect to a circular collet rotational axis;
- a foot peg rotatable with respect to a foot peg pivot placed within the collet aperture, the foot peg having an eccentrically offset positional relationship with respect to a foot peg pivot rotational axis;
- and
- means for fixing an adjusted position of the foot peg by securing an angular position of the collet in the bracket aperture and an angular position of the foot peg pivot in the collet aperture.
A dual eccentric adjustable motorcycle footrest kit capable of being assembled in the field, comprising:
- a bracket having a circular aperture adapted to be fastened to a motorcycle frame;
- a rotatable circular collet adapted to be placed within the circular bracket aperture, the circular collet having an eccentrically offset collet aperture with respect to a circular collet rotational axis;
- a foot peg rotatable with respect to a foot peg pivot adapted to be placed within the collet aperture, the foot peg having an eccentrically offset positional relationship with respect to a foot peg pivot rotational axis;
- and
- means adapted for fixing an adjusted position of the foot peg by securing an angular position of the collet in the bracket aperture and an angular position of the foot peg pivot in the collet aperture.
